  1. Dear Ms Keillar and Dr Morrocco, Thank you Brianna for your down-to-Earth reporting style and your ability to understand the pain of the people you interview. Thank you Dr Morrocco for showing your country and to us on the other side of the world the reality of the pandemic for you and the health professionals working round the clock to save lives. My major concern is burnout for the medical and support staff, because I have experienced burnout in a far lesser extent, but I know I had to stop my job and do something else for almost a year before I could go back to work. What did I do? I was working as an English teacher and I decided to work 12 months straight, skipping summer vacation. The result was burnout. One can only imagine what you, Dr Morrocco, and your first responders are going through. Here is my question to Brianna: Do you think you could make a survey and see if CNN could have a 'show' with a psychologist talking about issues that concern the health professionals? It might be a thing they could do when they get off their shift to tune into a channel with someone talking to them, giving them advice, listening to call-ins, reading text messages. It could be just the thing someone needs to watch and listen after losing a patient or patients and they could do it in the privacy of their home in real time. Second, couldn't the medical corps of your army, navy, marines, seals be called in as back-up to give people like Dr Morrocco a day off once in while? You start going through the cieling when you work every day. One doctor on your show has worked 256 days in a row. That's heroic, but everybody loses including him if he breaks down, and he will; it's only a matter of time if he doesn't take a day off. Please, everyone, be well
